    The only way to ever feel truly satisfied with life and your identity is by putting your identity into Christ. I’ve tried so many things over the years just to keep getting disappointed over and over again and just feeling like a shallow shell that was barely living. But I gave myself to Christ as my Savior and put my trust, hope, and identity in Him and although some days have been rough, He’s never failed me and I don’t feel like a shell anymore.

    Why not build it in advance and place it inside the aquarium, instead of on top where it only collects dust? I'm glad he brought back some old techniques, as it's been a while. Although I love 3D printing, it has taken away some of the building process we enjoy watching Luke do.

    Hi Elle! I've been watching your content for years to help me fall asleep. I know everyone's favorites are the waterfall dioramas but I have to admit my favorite is the gold mine, it's so unique! I'm also trans and I'd noticed the colored letters in your previous videos but I had convinced myself it was just a coincidence and maybe you just liked those colors, then I watched this video and finally read your link in the description and was really glad! I'm so happy for you and I can't wait to see what the future brings.
